The problem is, that most people who post here are centre left, they equate basically to people who support the UK Liberal Party.
This party is presently in government, supporting a pretty right wing Conservative Party.
They are what I term "liberals", because they are in fact carpetbaggers, politicians without even rudimentary principles.
Centre left people vote for them, because they wear the label of liberalism, but in reality are no more liberal than the Conservatives.

The US and UK are ruled by the capitalist system and no president or Prime minister can be "left wing" and still do his job, which is of course serving the system and trying to ensure its survival.

I think this is the point being made by Songwronger, he is trying, in rather harsh terms, to point out the hypocrisy of your political ideology and obviously sees President Obama as a black man who sold out?

Looking from here , there does not seem to be a lot of difference between Democrats and republicans, when in a position of power.

They are both servants of a higher "God"
